The international spread of COVID-19 has likely turned your typical routine all over the place.

When times feel uncertain you can take peace in knowing your house is your safe space. You’re possibly spending more time there today. That’s why your indoor air quality is now more crucial than ever.

Did you know we can install indoor air quality products in your house that provide hospital-grade filtration? These products can eliminate bacteria from your air, as well as allergens, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Modern residences are firmly closed, which is fantastic for energy efficiency. But it also means your inside air may be worse than the air outside. In fact, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This can be problematic since we spend about 90% of our days inside.

There are many factors that can contribute to poor indoor air quality, like cleaning products and air fresheners. These could result in headaches and irritate allergies and asthma.

There are a few actions you can take to improve your air quality. Some include better air filters, an air purification system or an ultraviolet (UV) germicidal light.

Not sure which option is right for your residence? Our knowledgeable professionals can do an indoor air quality audit. Based upon the results, we can then suggest the most fitting choice for your household’s distinct needs.

Air Filtration

When browsing air filters, it’s essential to look at the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This gauges how successfully it filters contaminants.

One of the most average and least expensive filters, flat fiberglass filters, are graded between 1 and 4 on the MERV system. Pleated filters are slightly better, rated between 8 and 12.

We advise buying no less than MERV 13, like the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal effect. This filter gives cleaner air while reducing energy use.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are regarded as the gold standard in air filtration, since they’re frequently in use in hospitals. They’re effective at trapping 99.97–99.99% of indoor pollutants, such as pollen, pet dander and smoke.

Air Purification

Lennox offers some of the most advanced air purification systems you can purchase. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems offer hospital-grade filtration while handling all kinds of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful systems can take care of:

  • 99.9% of allergens, including pollen, dust and pet dander.
  • 95% of bacteria-sized particles, like ones that cause strep throat.
  • 50% of VOCs and odors within 24 hours.

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is added within your HVAC equipment. Its penetrating rays eradicate bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family has allergies or asthma, this system might deliver relief. Especially if you live in an extremely hot climate where bacteria and mold flourish.

This light also provides an extra perk for your heating and cooling equipment. It could help it run for a longer period of time and run more efficiently, because it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers suggest using one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the best outcome. This filter provides industry-leading MERV 16 filtration plus carbon-coated fibers to catch particles in your residence’s air. It fulfills this without limiting your HVAC system’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Having even humidity in your house might help keep your loved ones healthy when it’s cold. It can aid sore throats, flaky skin and chapped lips, in addition to added cold weather bothers.

If you aren’t aware of what your home’s humidity percentage is, we’ll determine it when we complete your indoor air quality audit. While the range fluctuates based upon outdoor temperatures, HVAC experts usually recommend keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can achieve this optimum range with a whole-home humidifier. This system typically works with your furnace or air handler to deliver the right level of humidity throughout your home. Some equipment, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, use an incorporated fan to spread humidity while your heating system isn’t operating.
